Don't Show George Clooney the Money

George Clooney ain't in it for the bank.

The studio behind Clooney's old ER home is busying debunking a widely reported People magazine item that said the actor would be back in "several" episodes next season--at an eye-opening $2 million a pop.

"Completely fabricated," Warners Bros. Television said in a statement. There's no deal, no agreement and certainly no $2 million-a-show salary pact, it added.

Producers of the top-rated NBC medical drama seem particularly determined to portray Clooney as a near-altruist.

"Throughout his five-year tenure on the show, and now, following completion of his contract, salary issues never played a factor--as evidenced by his decision to never ask to renogotiate his original contract," the Warner statement read.

Clooney departed ER last February after five years of donning the scrubs of maverick doc Doug Ross. It's always been assumed that Ross eventually would return to the Chicago hospital, if only for a couple of stories.

Today's New York Daily News, while steering clear of speculation about the size of his paycheck, briefly notes that Clooney is a lock to be an extra-special guest next season. But a Warner Bros. spokesman again said that just isn't so--there is no done deal.
